Good points:

looks impressive and the camera is really tempting. Main reason for choice is that i needed a phone where a THB cradle was available for my car kit. battery life is no problem but i don't use many of the power draining functions.

Bad points:

wish I'd read the reviews posted by other people first! only had the phone two weeks and it's already frozen couple of times, resolved by switching off and back on again. Also, if you turn on speakerphone, won't go back to original state unless you yet again turn phone off and on again. Have been recommended by the Sony Ericsson web site to down load the current software to fix the problem, just haven't had time to try this yet, hope it works. Buttons are fiddly to use and can't believe that there is no opportunity to decide how long the phone back light stays on, it's preset, no option to change it. very disappointed that none of the navigational functions work, assume that this is down to the limitations of my network provider. Overall, not a good advert for Sony Ericsson, expected much more.

Good points:

I'm used to Sony Erricson phones, so it was easy to use. it looks good, and works well most of the time.

Bad points:

the sounds is a bit muffled at times which makes it hard to understand conversations and the software sometimes crashes or freezes for a few secs.

Good points:

It has an SOS light function-brilliant! Hope I never have to use it, but at least I am prepared if I do.

3G allows mobile phones and mobile dongles to achieve broadband speeds similar to that of home broadband. This allows users to browse the internet, email and download files and video whilst on the move.

The amount of data that can be captured when taking a photograph or video. A larger number represents a higher quality image, though this is also affected by other factors such as the lens size and quality.

Having a memory card slot allows you to save data to a memory card and then transfer it to another device. For example you may put a photo from your camera or mobile phone onto a memory card and then plug it into your printer to print directly.
